4. Manage Regulatory Uncertainties

The law also presents some uncertainties on the administration, interpretation, and effect of new regulations, policies, and procedures as they are established based on many of the studies and reports mentioned above, specifically:

• The implementation of the new price setting process; the establishment of market tests; the transfer of products between market dominant and competitive categories; classification changes; the complaint process; and grandfathering of non-postal services.
• The accounting methodology that the U.S. Treasury will recommend to the PRC to separate market dominant and competitive products and the extent to which the PRC will incorporate these recommendations into its rules.
• The application of laws to the Postal Service with respect to competitive products based on the FTC recommendations.
